Firefox

Sometimes you just really want to use the autocomplete feature and omit the HTML form autocomplete=off. To do so, you need to modify following file (the firefox version might, and probably will be, different than the one posted below): /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.10/components/nsLoginManager.js (Ubuntu) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\nsLoginManager.js (Windows) Change this: _isAutocompleteDisabled : function (element) { if (element.getAttribute("autocomplete").toLowerCase() == "off") return true; return false; } to this: _isAutocompleteDisabled : function (element) { return false; } or just add comments to the conditional section of the method, to assure it will always return false....

Executing this code will allow you to get back to firefox 3.x fonts rendering in firefox 3.5. It also makes Kadu fonts look much smoother. $ cd /etc/fonts/ $ sudo mv conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf . $ sudo ln -s conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf conf.d/ $ sudo mv conf.d/10-hinting.conf . $ sudo ln -s conf.avail/10-hinting.conf conf.d/ $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
